I would agree - I would take Marshall or Kabongo ahead of any of the others mentioned. But according to reports Damian Lillard is going to be the first 'PG' taken in the 2012 Draft, with Marshall the next to follow.

This means that Kabongo could be competing with Tony Wroten Jr. and Tyshawn Taylor for the next PG off the board. Even NBA.com has Wroten being drafted before Kabongo (only by 2 spots, but still).

Also, just because their is a lack of PG depth in the draft, does not necessarily mean that every PG's stock will rise. Teams could still look to fill other needs, especially due to the number of PGs that have been taken in recent years.

This all being said, unless he wows during workouts it seems his ceiling in the draft is probably early-to-mid-20's?

The team that Toronto should target is Atlanta.. their pick would be the 19th in the draft now. They did sell their 2nd rounder to GSW already (to bad Toronto didn't swoop in on that one).

That I think is the perfect spot to get Kabongo. That pick would come before teams like Indiana, Miami, Orlando or Memphis get their pick.

Since Atlanta does not have a 2nd rounder.. I wonder if they wouldn't mind a trade for their 1st rounder for our two 2nd rounders (+ cash)?? We could even throw in Alabi

I wonder if Bryan is even thinking about Kabongo at all. It's an assumption but makes a lot of sense. Bryan has said he's looking for a PG for the future. Kabongo is Canadian (which would please the fan base), and he was looking at Joseph last year.

Atlanta would be on my hit list as well.

They do have a 2nd rounder though. They had 2 for 2012. The one they sold to GS was the less favourable of their own and PHX's.

Sorry, I should have clarified I was giving my opinion and preferences. I realize what the people who know or are in the know are saying - and I hope they are right for my own selfish reasons!

Obviously won't happen, but if this mock draft did come to fruition, and we landed Quincy Miller and Kabongo two players who if they stay in school would probably be significantly higher, especially Miller, I'd be very excited for the first time about 2nd rounders.

Of all the mock drafts out there, I would put the least amount of stock in NBADraft.net. Miller is a borderline lottery pick even at his current stage of development. Of all the 'credible' mock draft sites out there, NBADraft.net is the only one projecting a 2nd round for Miller.

I decided to go back and read through Chad Ford's analysis of Myck Kabongo. There is not much there, only a few entries, but the most recent entry speaks largely to Kabongo's draft stock.

"The Good: Kabongo is a pure playmaker who can make everyone around him better. He's quick and he has a pretty nice jump shot.

The Bad: Pure point guards need talent around them. Kabongo had a black hole -- J'Covan Brown and little else. He struggled in virtually every area as a freshman.

The Upside: Kabongo is a much better prospect than he showed as a freshman at Texas. It just wasn't a great fit for him this year after most of Texas' talent left for the NBA. His stock has slid considerably because of it, but it wouldn't take him long to rebuild faith in his skills. This is a very weak point guard draft, and Kabongo is one of the few point guards in the NCAA with the ability to make an impact at the next level."

It appears that there is potential for Myck to go much higher then what his season showed, as has already been discussed here. The nice thing is that the Raptors do have assets to gain a pick. We have our glut of PFs, a Bayless sign-and-trade (potentially), and the two second round picks.

I personally would love for the Raptors to take Kabongo and try to reach his high ceiling.

On this roster we would potentially have our PG of the future, our SG (if DeRozan can put it all together), a potential franchise SF (Kidd-Gilchrist), a match-up nightmare in Bargnani, and a potential franchise center. Not bad at all!

That assessment nails my thoughts exactly.

If the Raps can acquire him with a 20-plus pick, it will be a similar case of luck as experienced with JV i.e. circumstance leading to quality pick at a slot lower than real worth.
